The county is also traversed by the South Downs Way National Trail and
is home to England's newest National Park as well as miles of beautiful
sandy coastline. From short forays into wildlife rich wetlands, nature
reserves and woodlands to longer riverside meanders and rollercoaster
treks along the spectacular sea cliffs, the 40 varied walks in this
guide cover the best walking this glorious county has to offer.
Each
walk entry begins with at-a-glance details of distance, time, terrain,
parking, and public transport access where available. Clear
route-finding instructions are provided together with simple overview
coloured sketch maps, but OS Explorer map sheet numbers are also
provided. The text also includes brief notes on features of interest
along the way and there are colour photographs throughout.
The walks are arranged into five geographical sections:
Crowborough and Ashdown Forest
Around Lewes
Wadhurst, Heathfield and the High Weald
Around Eastbourne
Hastings, Battle and Rye
